Figure 1: Raw and smoothed 10Be data. The lower curves (left axis) give the raw (thin curve) and the 1-2-1 filtered 8-year-averaged data from Antarctica (Bard et al. 1997). The upper curves (right axis) show the raw and the 11-year smoothed yearly data from Greenland (Beer et al. 1990). |

Figure 5: 11-year averaged sunspot numbers for the last 400 years: group sunspot numbers (GSN), Wolf sunspot numbers (WSN), SN reconstructed from Greenland 10Be and SN reconstructed from 1-2-1 filtered Antarctic 10Be data. The shaded area roughly indicates the range of averaged SN for which the model is less reliable. |

Figure 6: Sunspot activity (11-year averaged) during the pre-instrumental era: earlier extrapolations by Schove (1955 - S55), Nagovitsyn (1997 - N97) and Rigozo et al. (2001 - R01), and our SN reconstructions from 1-2-1 filtered 8-year Antarctic (An) and from 11-year averaged Greenland (Gr) 10Be series. The shaded area indicates the range of averaged SN for which the applicability of the model is limited. Horizontal bars with arrows denote the known grand minima and maxima: Maunder minimum (Mm), Spörer minimum (Sm), Wolf minimum (Wm), Oort minimum (Om) and the Medieval maximum (MM). The shaded area roughly indicates the range of averaged SN for which the model is less reliable. |

Figure 7: Autocorrelation function of the measured SN (group, GSN, and Wolf, WSN) and the reconstructed (from Greenland and Antarctic 10Be data) sunspot series. Left panel: autocorrelation function for the period 1700-2000 (1700-1900 for the Antarctic series; 1700-1985 for the Greenland series). Right panel: autocorrelation function for the period after 850 for the Antarctic series and after 1424 for the Greenland series. Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval. |
